I'm looking to reduce heat especially come summer time. It idles around 45F and it adds up by mid afternoon making the room 3-4F warmer than the rest of the house. I suppose I could always revert back to stock but I like the performance the way it is. Swapping to a comparable platform is an...
Bought this from another member on here as part of a combo deal but I have no need for them. Asking $25 shipped via Paypal.

Yes it's an old CPU but this will be replacing my trusty Q6600. I also have to give this up as a trade along with the abit ip35 pro mobo, 8gb gskill ram, and the zalman hsf.
So...what mobo is still out there that I can buy along with heatsink that pairs well with this chip? I'm also...
Hahahaha! I got the same thing! Except it quickly showed its age and ended up getting an E2140 which I was easily able to double up running at 3.2ghz. Then got a nice raise so I bought a Q6600.
Sorry. I guess it was more of a question on my part. I don't really buy into those comparisons because newer technology is almost always going to be better than previous ones. For me, it was the matter of cost to upgrade including the time to rebuild the box plus there really wasn't a need to...
